I'M NOT MYSELF

Description: Piano
I'm not myself when I'm at a party
I try too hard to get along, fit in
I'm not myself when I visit family
I see too much and say too little
I can be myself with friends
Then again, that depends which friends
And what we had to drink with dinner
But I am myself when we are together
I don't try too hard to be somebody
'Cos I am myself
And I like myself
And I love you
I'm not myself first thing in the morning
Then I'm someone you do not want to meet
I'm not myself when I'm in a beret
Then I'm a danger to society
I can be myself at night
Except when late at night
I'm frightened 'cos I read something by Michael Crichton
But I am myself when we are together
Oh no Oscar and no nomination
'Cos I am myself
And I like myself
And I love you very, oh love you very, I love you very, I love you, love you, love you, yeah yeah yeah
I love, I love you
